You're really getting some wonderful pelican shots - love the detail here. They're usually here for a few months in the winter and love to try to catch some shots of them.
@milaniet Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Milanie! I really enjoy watching these pelicans...they have some very interesting group behaviors, almost synchronized. Truly amazing! :-)
@audreyl Thank you so much for commenting, Audrey! Yes, I think his open wings are quite fantastic! There was a long line of pelicans behind him and they took off, one at a time, following him. :-)
Wonderful action shot Fav.
